Honda Manufacturing of Indiana will invest around $40 million to enhance production capabilities of its 1.3 million-square-foot plant in order to manufacture the CR-V. The facility will begin producing the vehicle in early 2017. Production of the Honda Civic will continue at the plant.

“Honda has been a great partner to the state of Indiana from the moment the company announced plans to establish a facility in Greensburg in 2006,” Gov. Mike Pence said in the release. “I have had the pleasure of meeting with the company’s leadership here in the United States and in Japan, and I am proud that they have once again chosen Indiana for growth. The automotive industry in Indiana supports more than 100,000 Hoosier jobs, and that number will continue to grow thanks to the commitment of companies like Honda.”
